A few days. If you're serious about LDing you should quit. |

I realize that the consensus for smoking pot and dream recall/lucid dreaming is that it inhibits it (and as of my recent comeback to LDing, I'd have to agree) |

Rawr!

I have little intention of quitting altogether (I realize it has some adverse effects, but I believe it's reasonable payoff. Besides, somethings gotta kill me) but I'm going to make it a once or twice a week thing. Trying to figure out how to best compromise, perhaps only in the mornings/midday of Friday and Sunday.. |

For me, as long as I am no longer high I can have somewhat increased dream recall, however this is after smoking weed. It seems to make my dreams weird, and my friends have also said that they dream when they're high so it obviously affects everyone differently. |

I recently went from smoking several times daily to stopping abruptly for 5 days, and I found that within a few nights I was suddenly having incredibly vivid and intense (and occasionally disturbing) dreams. I concluded then that weed was messing up my dream recall. However, last night I got really lit after not smoking for nearly a week and I had the longest sustained lucid dream I've ever had. This might have been a complete fluke but I'm thinking now that it might not be the drug itself but merely your state of mind under its influence. |

I can definitely see how that works, Wolf. Hah. I've decided that I'm just gonna go for a few weeks of extremely light smoking (if any) until I build my recall and dreaming abilities back up and then experiment. |

I do know that the psychoactive ingredients in hashish or marijuana can give a posistive result in a urine test up to 30 days after cessation of use. |

About 3 days for me to start remembering dreams again, a full week to get back to normal. |
|
In my experience, if you smoked earlier in the day and got a full nights sleep, you can still remember a dream or two and even go lucid xP I've had a lucid on the few nights that I had smoked. Very short and not too vivid though. Hope this helps! |

I'm just posting my experience. |

I don't know, I think it varies from person to person. On you it had terrible effects, while on me it seemed to work even better than training ^^ |
|
I think it depends on the factors of amount smoked and how long you have been smoking, if you are a regular smoker, the effect should not last that long. Just from my experiences. |
|
Not long. But you should quit, your liver is probably a piece of shit by now. |
|
I know this is a dreaming forum and not a cannabis forum but this is nothing short of misinformation. Either you confused alcohol and cannabis or you are posting your misinformed belief as a fact. I am trying not to be disrespectful since that is not my intention. Please only post things as fact when you are sure. Rest assured I mean no disrespect when I say humbly that you are wrong. |

Yeah man smokin weed doesn't help with your dream recall. You can barely remember things you did in waking life while you were high. So it's not very likely that you'll remember your dreams. |
|
Idk about you personally but I am 100% functional while high. I am a daily user. I use it medicinally. It sure beats taking addictive prescriptions with nasty side effects. It also beats mild OCD and Terrible anxiety. I have no memory issues with cannabis. I do have issues with dream recall if I use it late at night, but overall I remember stuff just as easily with or without marijuana. Sometimes I have an increased sense of focus. I built a pc lately and got frustrated that it wasn't booting properly. Extra frustrating since I work in IT. I vaporized a small amount of cannabis and went back to work on it. I was more focused and was able to find the very simple thing I had overlooked. |

I quit smoking weed when I became interested in LDing again. I realized how much I missed remembering my dreams and being able to become lucid (dreaming has always fascinated me). It absolutely killed my recall of both waking life activities AND dreams. I must say, it's probably the best decision I've made in awhile. I only quit recently, about a week ago, but I've already noticed that my recall is drastically improving, and I finally had an LD for the first time in a very long time a couple of nights ago. |

As we felt eternity,
the water recalled her life
as rain.
I find that I still have a dream I recall every single night as long as I don't vaporize after 7ish. If I do then it's a sure thing that I'll have no dream at all. If I stop by my cutoff time I'll always have a vivid dream. As interested as I am in lucid dreaming, I would not be able to sacrifice my medicine all day for it. I am trying to find a balance between my love for dreams and the most beneficial medicine I've ever used. I've just followed this dream schedule by imposing my cutoff time. Lately I've been recalling dreams every night. Previously I have not recalled a dream once in about 8 years. This is all very exciting to me! |
|
That's weird. My friend told me he's able to recall dreams when goes to bed high. Does It affect people differently?? |
|
Took me about a week to start remembering my dreams after I quit smoking. |
|
I dream vividly if I go a few hours before bed without cannabis. |

It's probably not best to say marijuana is completely bad for LDing. In my experiences my dreams tend to be more vivid and lively and apart from the memory rep. it has I can remember a good amount of dreams simply from writing down key words from my dreams. It effects everyone differently and in my case really well. But I can see how it can adversely affect other people to the point where LDing is near impossible. To answer the main question though I'm sure a full day after taking the last hit of marijuana the effects of it to dreams would seem to go away, though it could also probably take the same amount of time as it does to leave the body, it's probably more based on how marijuana stays in your body as an individual. |
